“It is important. Anytime anyone can get information between right and wrong, I think it is good. I think it is good. I think it is good that we have this discussion. But we need action. The gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Delahunt) had a colloquy with a Member on the other side talking about the war in Iraq and the kind of action that we have to take as it relates to the corruption and cronyism and incompetence in contracting. He said that it was important, and he yielded to this distinguished Member of this House. And he said, yes, we should have a discussion on it. Mr. Delahunt reclaimed his time and said, no, we should not have discussion on it, we should have action on it, because that is what the American people want. And I think it is important that we get to the bottom of it. I think it is important. We have to. We must get to the bottom of it. It is important that we start taking steps in a bipartisan way. Now, I am going to tell you that the Democratic leader brought up a privileged resolution today that basically talked about the spirit of the rules of the House being violated, talked about the fact that we had issues here of former Members that served in this Congress and the previous Congress, in the 108th Congress, that were a part of not only questionable, illegal activities.”
